3. Range Rover Evoque

While the Range Rover Evoque doesn’t share the bold, boxy lines of the “real” Range Rover, it still is a force to be reckoned with.

Powered by Ford’s 2.0 liter Ecoboost inline-four in the United States, it packs a decent punch, while holding its own when the going gets rough.

Its 4WD system is very similar to that fitted to its big brother, giving any big SUV a run for its money. Starting at $41,800, the Evoque isn’t a bad buy, though it’s round and docile styling are likely to shy away a Land Rover purist.

1. Audi A4

Audi has been the king of all-wheel drive with their “Quattro” all-wheel drive system. The all-new A4 starts at $39,400 with all-wheel drive. Not a bad price, given that the A4 is considerably less dull that A4 of years previous.

It’s quite a handsome design, with a very well thought out interior. It even has a neat digital dash setup, where the GPS and other data can be displayed around the speedometer.

Competitively priced with the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class, the Audi A4 is undoubtedly the best buy of the three and an excellent deal for the price.
